Use Class Color for Lesson Editor Box
On the Plans page, I would love for each Lesson Editor (now blue) box to match the assigned color for each different class. Every time I'm working with a different-colored class, but the blue box pops up, I think I'm in the wrong class!

I completely agree with this suggestion. Color coding is often used as a visual cue to help users quickly identify different classes, projects, or groups. When the Lesson Editor always appears in the same blue color, it can create a disconnect between the class color shown elsewhere in the platform and the editing environment. For educators managing multiple classes, even small inconsistencies can slow navigation and increase the chance of editing content in the wrong class.
Matching the Lesson Editor box to the assigned class color would improve usability, reduce cognitive load, and create a more consistent user experience. It would also help teachers quickly confirm they are working in the correct class without needing to double-check labels or menus. Similar visual-learning principles are widely used in educational technology because color consistency helps users process information faster and more accurately.
This same concept is often applied in digital learning resources and educational content design, where visual cues improve engagement and comprehension. For example, educational content creators frequently use color-coded visual elements and structured media to support learning outcomes: https://animationgravity.com/educational-video-production
Overall, this seems like a simple enhancement that could provide meaningful benefits for teachers who regularly switch between multiple classes and lesson plans.
